> However, the major issue for me is the database of "forbidden" neural hashes which you are not permitted to have on your phone. Who controls what goes into that database? Right now, it's only CSAM and Apple have said they pinky-swear that if they're told to add other things they will refuse.
This isn't what was being proposed. What was being proposed was that if you had a photo that resolved to a "forbidden" hash, upon being uploaded to iCloud data would be sent to Apple. Presumably after some arbitrary amount of times this happens, information would then be sent to the local government.
If you were not using iCloud to store photos then it wouldn't matter either way (according to Apple).
- mikehall314 5y agoI don't think anything I've said contradicts that. Although Apple said they would only scan content which was uploaded to iCloud Photos, scanning still takes place locally on-device.
- endisneigh 5y agoI’m not saying you made a contradiction - I’m saying that the files in question would’ve been scanned either way. The question is simply whether or not you trust and believe Apple. If you don’t it doesn’t make any difference whether it’s being scanned on device or not.
- mikehall314 5y agoI'm sorry - when you said "this isn't what was being proposed" I must have mis-understood what you meant.
